Jesus of Montreal is a 1989 French Canadian film about an actor, Daniel, hired to modernize a passion play. He teams up with an actress turned single mother named Constance, and together they round up a small group of players. Although the play turns out to be a hit, it's shut down by the church for being too controversial, and in the eyes of the church, blasphemous.

Christianity Is Catholic: Justified; it's the Catholic Church that hires Daniel and the others to put the play on. However, later in the film, it's subverted, as the Passion Play they put on is deemed too controversial by the church.
